about the production
In a jubilee 75th season (1994/95), SND established interrupted contacts with the Budapest theatre Vígszínház and welcomed Hungarian colleagues, counterparts and friends on the stage of the P. O. Hviezdoslav Theatre presenting the play Dance-hall. The success was tremendous and one year after, Enikö Eszenyi, the Vígszínház actor and director, with her team of co-workers, appeared at a director's panel. The period of rehearsals was the most exciting, and the final result proved the talent, vitality and imagination of the Hungarian directress who could fully understand the Slovak counterparts.

director
Enikö Eszenyi (1960) – a celebrity among actors and directors of the prominent Budapest theatre Vigszínház, is one of the most brilliant personalities of the Hungarian theatre art. She already dazzled theatre-goers and theatre-fans as a student of performing arts. A number of richly performed characters in the theatre and in movies (recently with the Slovak director Jaroslav Rihák - Valse triste) can be enriched with her success as a director. She was awarded numerous domestic and foreign prizes for the stage-play Leonce and Lena by Büchner. She received wide recognition for directing the musical West Side Story, Kleist’s Catherine of Heilbronne and Brecht’s Baal.
